In the Active Tectonics labs we have a number of sophisticated tools to help in the collection and processing of field-based bedrock data sets to better understand the geologic origins of mountain ...

Boulder, CO, USA - This new addition to GSA's Special Paper series makes important contributions to the recognition of earthquake sources active during Quaternary time (from 1.75 million years ago ...

On May 14, 2021, the Research Vessel Kaimei in a drilling process achieved a world record, according to IODP Expedition 386 Japan Trench Paleoseismology. The vessel drilled the deepest coring site ...

The study of such earthquakes, called paleoseismology, can help to better characterize earthquake-producing faults by providing information about the recurrence and magnitudes of past earthquakes.

The group at the university is relatively rare, as it includes expertise that analyzes fault zones at three time scales from tens of millions of years (structural geology/tectonics) to the past ...

IODP Expedition 386 -- Japan Trench Paleoseismology -- was jointly implemented by the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD) and the Institute for Marine-Earth Exploration and ...

Masanobu Shishikura saw the earthquake coming, said Peter Landers in The Wall Street Journal. The Japanese geologist, 41, would’ve preferred to be wrong. But on March 11, when the bookshelves ...

This is the aim of the upcoming International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 386 "Japan Trench Paleoseismology", involving a team of scientists who will leave the port of Yokusuka ...

Yuki Sawai, a chief senior researcher at the AIST who specializes in paleoseismology, said the foraminifera remains and the way the sediments accumulated indicate that those sand deposits were ...
